I don't know what our current licensing arrangement with Red Hat is,
except that nearly all of our servers are running RHEL 5.x and we
don't need to buy a new license to install a new server.  But I could
find out if I need to.

However, on further inspection, it looks like we'd need RHN Satellite
(since most of our machines are on a private network and cannot access
the Internet), which requires a separate license from Red Hat AND an
Oracle server.  While that might be worth it in the long run, I'm not
sure that's worth the time and expense it would entail just for the
project I'm working on now.  So I guess I'm back to square one.
